Sydney, 23rd July 2014 – Epiphany Games
announces the debut season of its RPG series
Majestic Nights, an episodic role-playing-thriller set in
an alternate 1980s where all conspiracy theories, past and present,
are True.

You play as Cardholder: an intelligence operative who may or may
not have been present at or even responsible for many of the
biggest conspiracy events in history; and Cal, a humble Private
Investigator whose own past is shrouded in secrets unknown even to
herself.

“What people don’t understand about the moon landing
is that all the conspiracy theorists are totally correct,”
said Morgan Lean, CEO of Epiphany Games. “People walk around
knowing all the facts and yet not seeing the Truth. So if the only
way to package the actual reality of the situation is as
entertainment, then it’s our responsibility to do exactly
that!”

With fast, light mechanics, the game has been developed to
engross players in a shadowy world of conspiracy with an
over-the-top 1980s aesthetic. Players will use wits, stealth and
sometimes even a little force to investigate, explore, and acquire
ever more clues for their big string-covered wall of
conspiracies.

“We wanted to create a game which was simple to play and
just let people dive into the story,” said Sam Jensen, Lead
Designer. “The story and the world are the forefront of this
game – they’re the star of the show and we want
everything the game does to support that.”

Season One of
Majestic Nights takes place over six chapters, which work
as a complete story or as standalone experiences. ‘
Chapter Zero – Sunset After Dark’, a prologue
to the series, will be made available for free. Each subsequent
chapter of the core series will be paid, and season passes will
also be available.

and CTO Damien Lee. It was established with the intention to be the
best game and technology development studio in Australia, and
eventually one of the best in the world. Ours is a highly talented
and motivated team, with development capabilities on all platforms
- PC, mobile and all consoles. We love what we do, and we do it
very well. Its previous games have included
